Park Mo, an executive from the Office of the Secretary-General of the Presidential Office, was appointed to the Office of the President while working for a political party in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province.

However, Administrator Park is listed as an inside director of a gas sales company in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, run by his family.

While working as an administrator in the presidential office, he also served as a director of a corporation, and the possibility of violating Article 64 of the National Civil Service Act, which prohibits public officials from engaging in for-profit work, has been raised.

In response, it was reported that Administrator Park admitted his mistake, saying, "I did not know that I was registered as an inside director," because he was an 'unpaid part-time employee'.

In a statement, the presidential office said, "It cannot be said that a conflict of interest has occurred, as it has not been engaged in for-profit activities."

It was revealed that Woo Mo, the son of an acquaintance of President Yoon Seok-yeol, who was previously controversial, served as an administrative agent in the President's Office of Social Affairs and until recently held the audit position of his father's company.

Mo Ahn, who worked in the public relations office, submitted her resignation as she became known as the older sister of YouTuber Ahn Jung-kwon, who had been protesting in front of the residence of former President Moon Jae-in. .

As the so-called 'two-job' allegations are raised one after another against public officials in the presidential office, criticism is coming out whether the recruitment verification is being done properly.
